propagated by Sergej Movsesian around the year 2002. Until Black has found the
antidote, the concept seemed dangerous enough but after this game the
evaluation might change.} b4 12. Nd5 Nxd5 13. exd5 a5 14. c3 bxc3 15. Bxc3 Qb6

not a nice one. White is preparing the move Qd2 with the pressure against the
a5 pawn.} f5 17. Re1 (17. Qd2 Bd8) 17... Bd8 18. Nd2 Ba6 (18... f4 19. g4 Ba6

of the Calvia Olympiad on two counts - percentage of points and rating
